+ Prerequisite tools are Bash 2.x,
+ <a class="ulink" href="http://www.doxygen.org/" target="_top">Doxygen</a>, and
+ the <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/" target="_top">GNU
+ coreutils</a>. (GNU versions of find, xargs, and possibly
+ sed and grep are used, just because the GNU versions make
+ things very easy.)
+ </p><p>
+ To generate the pretty pictures and hierarchy
+ graphs, the
+ <a class="ulink" href="http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/download.html" target="_top">Graphviz</a>

+ The Makefile rules
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-html-doxygen</code></strong></pre><p>
+ and
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-xml-doxygen</code></strong></pre><p>
+ and
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-man-doxygen</code></strong></pre><p>
+ in the libstdc++ build directory generate the HTML docs, the
+ XML docs, and the man pages.
+ </p><p>
+ Careful observers will see that the Makefile rules simply call
+ a script from the source tree, <code class="filename">run_doxygen</code>, which
+ does the actual work of running Doxygen and then (most
+ importantly) massaging the output files. If for some reason
+ you prefer to not go through the Makefile, you can call this
+ script directly. (Start by passing <code class="literal">--help</code>.)
+ </p><p>
+ If you wish to tweak the Doxygen settings, do so by editing
+ <code class="filename">doc/doxygen/user.cfg.in</code>. Notes to fellow
+ library hackers are written in triple-# comments.
+ </p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="doxygen.markup"></a>Markup</h4></div></div></div><p>
+ In general, libstdc++ files should be formatted according to
+ the rules found in the
+ <a class="link" href="bk01apas03.html" title="Coding Style">Coding Standard</a>. Before
+ any doxygen-specific formatting tweaks are made, please try to
+ make sure that the initial formatting is sound.
+ </p><p>
+ Adding Doxygen markup to a file (informally called
+ “<span class="quote">doxygenating</span>”) is very simple. The Doxygen manual can be
+ found
+ <a class="ulink" href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html#latestman" target="_top">here</a>.
+ We try to use a very-recent version of Doxygen.
+ </p><p>
+ For classes, use
+ <code class="classname">deque</code>/<code class="classname">vector</code>/<code class="classname">list</code>
+ and <code class="classname">std::pair</code> as examples. For
+ functions, see their member functions, and the free functions
+ in <code class="filename">stl_algobase.h</code>. Member functions of
+ other container-like types should read similarly to these
+ member functions.
+ </p><p>
+ These points accompany the first list in section 3.1 of the
+ Doxygen manual:
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p>Use the Javadoc style...</p></li><li><p>
+ ...not the Qt style. The intermediate *'s are preferred.
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ Use the triple-slash style only for one-line comments (the
+ “<span class="quote">brief</span>” mode). Very recent versions of Doxygen permit
+ full-mode comments in triple-slash blocks, but the
+ formatting still comes out wonky.
+ </p></li><li><p>
+ This is disgusting. Don't do this.
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ Use the @-style of commands, not the !-style. Please be
+ careful about whitespace in your markup comments. Most of the
+ time it doesn't matter; doxygen absorbs most whitespace, and
+ both HTML and *roff are agnostic about whitespace. However,
+ in &lt;pre&gt; blocks and @code/@endcode sections, spacing can
+ have “<span class="quote">interesting</span>” effects.
+ </p><p>
+ Use either kind of grouping, as
+ appropriate. <code class="filename">doxygroups.cc</code> exists for this
+ purpose. See <code class="filename">stl_iterator.h</code> for a good example
+ of the “<span class="quote">other</span>” kind of grouping.
+ </p><p>
+ Please use markup tags like @p and @a when referring to things
+ such as the names of function parameters. Use @e for emphasis
+ when necessary. Use @c to refer to other standard names.
+ (Examples of all these abound in the present code.)
+ </p></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="doc_style.docbook"></a>Docbook</h3></div></div></div><div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="docbook.prereq"></a>Prerequisites</h4></div></div></div><p>
+ Editing the DocBook sources requires an XML editor. Many
+ exist: some noteable options
+ include <span class="command"><strong>emacs</strong></span>, <span class="application">Kate</span>,
+ or <span class="application">Conglomerate</span>.
+ </p><p>
+ Some editors support special “<span class="quote">XML Validation</span>”
+ modes that can validate the file as it is
+ produced. Recommended is the <span class="command"><strong>nXML Mode</strong></span>
+ for <span class="command"><strong>emacs</strong></span>.
+ </p><p>
+ Besides an editor, additional DocBook files and XML tools are
+ also required.
+ </p><p>
+ Access to the DocBook stylesheets and DTD is required. The
+ stylesheets are usually packaged by vendor, in something
+ like <code class="filename">docbook-style-xsl</code>. The installation
+ directory for this package corresponds to
+ the <code class="literal">XSL_STYLE_DIR</code>
+ in <code class="filename">doc/Makefile.am</code> and defaults
+ to <code class="filename">/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For procesessing XML, an XML processor and some style
+ sheets are necessary. Defaults are <span class="command"><strong>xsltproc</strong></span>
+ provided by <code class="filename">libxslt</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For validating the XML document, you'll need
+ something like <span class="command"><strong>xmllint</strong></span> and access to the
+ DocBook DTD. These are provided
+ by a vendor package like <code class="filename">lixml2</code>.
+ </p><p>
+ For PDF output, something that transforms valid XML to PDF is
+ required. Possible solutions include <span class="command"><strong>xmlto</strong></span>,
+ <a class="ulink" href="http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/" target="_top">Apache
+ FOP</a>, or <span class="command"><strong>prince</strong></span>. Other options are
+ listed on the DocBook web <a class="ulink" href="http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookPublishingTools" target="_top">pages</a>. Please
+ consult the <code class="email">&lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org">libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org</a>&gt;</code> list when
+ preparing printed manuals for current best practice and suggestions.
+ </p><p>
+ Make sure that the XML documentation and markup is valid for
+ any change. This can be done easily, with the validation rules
+ in the <code class="filename">Makefile</code>, which is equivalent to doing:
+ </p><pre class="screen">
+ <strong class="userinput"><code>
+xmllint --noout --valid <code class="filename">xml/index.xml</code>
+ </code></strong>
+ </pre></div><div class="sect3" lang="en" xml:lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a id="docbook.rules"></a>Generating the DocBook Files</h4></div></div></div><p>
+ The Makefile rules
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-html</code></strong></pre><p>
+ and
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-pdf</code></strong></pre><p>
+ and
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-xml-single</code></strong></pre><p>
+ and
+ </p><pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code>make doc-xml-validate</code></strong></pre><p>
+ in the libstdc++ build directory result respectively in the
+ following: the generation of an HTML version of all the
+ documentation, a PDF version of the same, a single XML
+ document, and the results of validating the XML document.
